Code Walk

Code Walk reflect their environment as they springboard away from it. Hailing from and patched into Copenhagen’s vibrant scene, their music is both a response to their surroundings and a broader summation of their specific interests within electronic music. From the pointillist academic slant of IRCAM computer music via the visceral vibrations of soundsystem culture and on to the buoyant sounds of fast techno, Code Walk’s sonic palette is omnivorous and diligently thought-out. Eclecticism may be a natural by-product of contemporary music culture, but in the case of Code Walk special attention has been given to their studio processes, from generative compositional approaches to signal chains. Fusing digital tools and analogue hardware, they’ve crafted a specific sonic imprint that binds together their work as they span tempos, rhythms and intensities. There’s a steely fortitude at the heart of their sound, but it’s far from sterile. Febrile textures and icy atmospherics collide, creating their own volatile weather systems, largely underpinned by thunderous bass. Code Walk’s music has already surfaced on Peder Mannerfelt’s self-titled label via the Distance 12”, followed by a trio of EPs in 2020, as well as on Ex Local and RND. Records. Alongside their studio work, they also emphasise their role as live performers, contorting and stretching out the potential of their music in real time.
